In The Night Kitchen - Too Strange?

When I asked my mom what some of my favorite books were as a kid she said, "You of course loved the wild and wacky, In The Night Kitchen," This spurred me to find this video:

And then of course I had to read the comments, some of which irritated the heck out of me:

That IS a weird book. I've﻿ come across it once b4 & thought what the??? Your comments on the book are hilarious! Well done!

At first i thought YOU had written the warped book, I kept looking at the cover to see if it really was an authentic main stream published book! Was the author on weird drugs? Is the author head of a pedaphile club?? Fantisy﻿ is fun in kids books, but this is more of a nightmare

zaniebobanie 2 years agoIt's sort of a classic -- same guy wrote "Where the Wild Things Are" -- but a very﻿ strange classic.

VMKPRO 2 years agoGlad﻿ you liked it. An Owen classic...

DadLabs 2 years agoHighest Rated CommentsI love this book. It was one of my favorites when I was little and is still one of my fav children's books. I love the illustrations, and the surrealism. Because he's naked on like 4 pages makes it﻿ inapropriatte?? Come on. It's a children's book, and it's not like it's graphic. You prudes need to grow up.

NotanEmoJasmine 1 year ago 6 I know this comment is a year old but I just had to say something. Sendak has discussed this book due﻿ to all the idiodic controversy and purpsely drew the chefs with hitler mustaches baking the kid in an oven as a hidden haulocaust referance because of his Jewish heritage.

Excellent, very funny review. Exactly our reaction to the story when we first saw it! We have it animated on﻿ the "Where the Wild Things Are" DVD (animated version) and our son (2 yrs old) watches it over and over and over! We weren't sure if it was all a bit too surreal but he loves it

leepharps 2 months agothis is funny but﻿ the author is the same guy who wrote where the wild things are so... yea

trishiz0 1 year agoThat made me laugh﻿ so hard that someone actually came into my room and asked what was wrong. Hilarious.

ChowakeePsycho 1 year agoJust a small correction, those 3 bakers were actually﻿ supposed to look like Oliver Hardy, not Hitler.

This is﻿ a sick homo book. they even got hitler chefs in it. OMG!

Fantastic.﻿ I love how the discomfort just multiplies with every page.

I really hope that YouTube does not represent the cross population of America. Unfortunately, after working in retail for so long, I'm afraid that it does.
